After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 112 Please stop talking
"I think you'll only be satisfied if you plunge headfirst into this ditch called Song Jin'an."

Hearing Duan Nanhe's words, Gu Xijue frowned even more, and said in a flustered tone, "How could I possibly fall into her hands?"

What a joke!

"Just you wait and see. Based on my experience with so many relationships, you're probably in love without even realizing it." Duan Nanhe spoke with great conviction, feeling incredibly smug that he had seen right through this!

"Those are all dating experiences, not womanizing skills?" Gu Xijue scoffed, clearly dissatisfied with his words, and turned the tables on him.

When Duan Nanhe heard him mention this, he was momentarily speechless. After all, the women around him were indeed a motley crew, and none of them were someone he could live with.

Among friends, there are fair-weather friends, and without exception, all of Duan Nanhe's girlfriends were his bed partners.

They only talk about sex, not feelings.

"Fine, fine, I can't argue with you, okay?" Duan Nanhe didn't want to say anything more to him, but he still felt that his judgment was correct!
For Gu Xijue, his love life has always been clean. He has always kept himself pure and virtuous since childhood. Apart from Song Jin'an, who is a ticking time bomb, there is only Su Ruoya, and he has only ever liked Su Ruoya.

In the circle of wealthy young men, Gu Xijue can indeed be considered clean, but Duan Nanhe has always felt that the reason why the women around him have remained the same for so many years is because he is unwilling to break through his own limitations and has no interest in relationships, which is why he only has one or two women around him.

"Then shut up." Gu Xijue really felt that Duan Nanhe was there to cause trouble.

Duan Nanhe gestured for her to shut up, but then said, "You don't want to change women. I think if you really want to live a peaceful life, you have to talk things out. It's better for both you and the little mute, so you don't end up arguing or on your way to arguing."

"You really have too much free time." Gu Xi was a little angry, feeling that Duan Nanhe was just a troublemaker.

"I haven't, I've been very busy lately." Duan Nanhe has been so busy lately that he hasn't had time to look for a girlfriend. He glanced at Gu Xijue again, his expression slightly shifting, and continued, "Aren't you really going to consider talking to the little mute girl?"

"What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere in my marriage?" Gu Xijue completely ignored him, not even lifting his eyelids again, and continued, "Could it be that you want to be the one left holding the bag? Or do you also like Song Jin'an?"

The last sentence stunned Duan Nanhe.

"I do like the little mute girl, but this liking isn't romantic; it's more of an appreciation." He felt that if he continued speaking, the man in front of him would really kick him out.

He genuinely felt that Song Jin'an possessed an indomitable spirit, growing up relentlessly, which was indeed quite admirable.

Although it's not his type, working with a woman like that would probably be very comfortable.

"Admire?" Gu Xijue seemed to have heard something very funny. In his eyes, Song Jin'an had always been just a stubborn mule, nothing special, and not even a bit of the gentleness of a woman.

She was always indifferent to him, showing no sign of being a wife at all.

"She has many admirable qualities. You can go back and observe her for yourself; you definitely won't be disappointed." After saying this, Duan Nanhe talked to him about some other business matters and then left.

After Duan Nanhe left, Gu Xijue continued working. A few minutes later, Wei Zhou came in and said softly, "Mr. Gu, Madam and Miss Du Lan have arrived."

Gu Xijue was taken aback and asked, "Where?"

"Madam does not want to disturb Mr. Gu's work and is chatting with Miss Du in the VIP room."

Wei Zhou continued.

Gu Xijue frowned slightly, about to say something, when there was a sudden sound at the door. Before he could react, Madam Gu came in and closed the door behind her. "Assistant Wei, go and pour Miss Du a cup of coffee. Tell her Xijue will be there soon."

Wei Zhou: "..."

His first reaction was... was this some kind of forced sale?

But he immediately knew better and left.

Madam Gu's expression was cold: "Xi Jue, you've certainly grown too big for your britches."

Her first words upon entering were a rebuke of Gu Xijue for becoming too independent and uncontrollable.

Gu Xijue was baffled and looked up at her: "Mom, what do you mean? Just say it."

Madam Gu's eyes were filled with anger: "Fine, I'll let it go if you don't sign the divorce agreement, I'll just consider it as delaying the Song family's emergence at this critical juncture, but why don't you seize the opportunity with Du Lan? If she becomes your wife, she will definitely help you reach even greater heights."

In her eyes, profit is more important than anything else.

"You almost forced her to go to the Jiang family, almost letting them benefit from your scheme!"

Gu Xijue said coldly, "Mom, you came here and lectured me with such certainty. I thought something terrible had happened."

"The Jiang family has already rejected the marriage proposal from the Du family, and tonight Du Minghua is taking his precious daughter to the Duan family. Haven't you figured out what's going on yet?"

The two women looked at each other, and Madam Gu said coldly, "Then tell me, what exactly happened?"

"You must give me a satisfactory answer today, or I'll immediately go out and talk and go shopping with Duran."

Madam Gu didn't want to lose the Du family, such a coveted asset, so she kept pressuring Gu Xijue to divorce Song Jin'an and be with Du Lan.

Gu Xijue said calmly, “We haven’t fully grasped the specific evidence yet, but we’ve already seen some clues. I will inform my mother as soon as possible.”

Hearing his ambiguous words again, Madam Gu was instantly utterly disappointed in Gu Xijue. A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she stared intently at the man in front of her.

"You have let me down too much."

"Have I been too lenient with you, to the point that you've forgotten that I'm also a domineering mother?" she said harshly.

Just like back then, Song Jin'an was brought into the Gu family by her against all odds. At that time, Gu Xijue was extremely resistant, but she managed to persuade him with a few words and a beating.

When Madam Gu was young, she was too forceful. She even killed many of her husband's mistresses. When one of the mistresses became pregnant, Madam Gu forcibly dragged her to the operating table. This is why Gu Xijue had no illegitimate siblings. Otherwise, given Gu Donglin's promiscuity, he would have had a whole bunch of illegitimate children who wanted to claim his inheritance.

This is why Gu Donglin and Madam Gu can only maintain a facade of mutual respect, while in private they have been living separate lives for twenty years.

The elderly couple had reached a consensus: no matter how much fun they had outside, they couldn't leave behind any children. Gu Xijue also knew how bad his parents' marriage had become, but he never said much about it.

“Mother, I understand that you mean well, but I have my own plans. Please don’t say anything more.”
